1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Use a knife to lightly score a 1-inch border around the edges, being careful not to cut through the pastry.

3. 3

   In a bowl, toss the pear quarters with 2 tablespoons of honey, ground cardamom, and cinnamon until well coated.

4. 4

   Arrange the coated pears evenly within the scored border of the puff pastry.

5. 5

   In another bowl, mix the pistachios, flour, granulated sugar, salt, and melted butter to create a coarse crumble.

6. 6

   Sprinkle the pistachio crumble evenly over the pears.

7. 7

   Brush the puff pastry edges with the beaten egg to create a golden crust during baking.

8. 8

   Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and puffed, and the pears are tender.

9. 9

   Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey over the tart and let it cool slightly.

    Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
